Marshall was slated to meet Dan Cramer in
a semifinal matchup as part of the main card of Bellator
115, which takes place April 5 at the Reno Event Center in
Reno, Nev.

After earning a title shot by winning the company’s eighth-season
tourney at 185 pounds,
Marshall was suspended in December by the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Commission when he tested positive for a banned substance
in his losing bid against champion Alexander
Shlemenko. According to a Wednesday release from Bellator,
Marshall was removed from his bout with Cramer “after having his
suspension from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission extended
by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.”

Bellator officials also announced the rest of the April 5 bill,
which is headlined by a heavyweight title fight between defending
champ Vitaly
Minakov and former UFC talent Cheick
Kongo. Also set for the main card is a welterweight tournament
semifinal between Andrey
Koreshkov and Sam Oropeza,
both of whom secured their spots with emphatic knockout wins in
March 14 quarterfinal bouts. Rounding out the televised broadcast
will be a non-tournament middleweight tilt pitting Denmark’s
Mikkel
Parlo against King of the Cage veteran Johnny
Cisneros.
